"The military genius brought Zizhi Tongjian to a different world ()" Find the latest chapter!
With a thunderous offensive, Enli quickly put down the peasant rebellion that broke out in the "former Frankish Empire".
At this moment, the 50,000-strong army that had completed its counter-insurgency mission was marching back home in neat formations.
Compared to the generals who were beaming with joy after winning the battle, the expression of someone in the army was not so happy.
…
…
"Handsome... Coach... Coach...! Coach!"
In a trance, Enli heard someone calling him next to him.
Enli quickly turned his head and asked the lieutenant who was riding his horse beside him at the same speed as him.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." The deputy general smiled helplessly, "I just want to remind the coach not to be in a daze. Being dazed on horseback is a very dangerous thing."
"Thanks for the reminder." Enli smiled slightly at his lieutenant general.
"...Commander." The deputy general asked Enli after hesitating for a while, "I always feel... that you have been in a strange state since you led the army into the territory of the 'former Frank Empire'."
"Always looks gloomy, and gets distracted from time to time."
"Now that we have won the battle and suppressed the rebellion, you still look like this."
The deputy general noticed something strange about Enli a long time ago.
After just receiving the counter-insurgency task from Ilsa and leading the troops on the expedition, Enli still looked very excited, excited and high-spirited.
However - Enli suddenly, overnight, changed from his original high-spirited appearance to his current depressed and dazed appearance.
The adjutant noticed keenly that when Enli changed like this, he happened to be leading his troops into the "border of the original Frank Empire".
The adjutant has always been curious about why Enli suddenly had such a big change.
However, because this kind of question is relatively private, the adjutant never knew how to speak.
Until now, after once again seeing Enli making such a dangerous move on horseback, the adjutant could no longer restrain his curiosity and asked Enli the question that he had been holding back for a long time. .
After hearing the adjutant's question, Enli did not answer immediately.
But after being silent for a while, he said quietly:
"...Before leading the troops into the territory of the original Frankish Empire, I always thought that the reason why these people launched a rebellion was just because they still couldn't let go of their hatred towards us Britannias and because they were not used to being betrayed by us. The Deniyas rule..."
"However……"
Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on Enli's face.
"After leading the troops into the territory of the original Frank Empire and seeing the current situation of the civilians in the territory of the original Frank Empire, I realized that I was wrong..."
Before Enli had finished speaking, a scout suddenly came to the formation on a fast horse and approached Enli.
"Commander! A wave of refugees was found in the front! The total number is about 2,000 people! They are blocking the front of the army! If they are not dispersed, it may affect the progress of our army!"
"The wave of refugees?" The adjutant frowned, "It's really troublesome."
The adjutant turned his head and ordered to a knight behind him:
"You lead 500 cavalry and drive away these refugees in front of me!"
"yes……"
"etc!"
Before the knight could say "yes", Enli interrupted first:
"Don't use force against the refugees in front! Let's avoid them."
"Bypass them?" The deputy general cast a doubtful look at Enli, "But... Coach, if you do this, you will waste a lot of time!"
"It's wasted!" Enli said in a nonchalant tone, "Anyway, the battle is over now, we have no shortage of time."
"But..." The deputy general wanted to say something more.
But his words have not yet been spoken,
Enli waved his hand:
"Stop talking nonsense! Follow my orders quickly!"
"yes……"
…
…
After instructing his subordinates to change the direction of the army and bypass the refugees in front, Enli clamped his horse's belly and drove the horse away from the formation.
"Commander!" the deputy general said urgently, "Where are you going?"
"I want to see those refugees! Come with me!"
Looking at Enli's figure that was rapidly shrinking within his field of vision, the deputy general gritted his teeth and sighed:
"Alas...the deputy general...is really weird sometimes..."
After saying this with emotion, the adjutant also clamped the belly of the horse under his crotch, driving the horse under his crotch to follow Enli...
…
…
Enli and his adjutant galloped wildly, one behind the other.
After a while, the two saw a large number of dark figures emerging from the horizon ahead.
As the distance between them and the dark figures continued to narrow, Enli and his adjutant gradually saw the true face of this dark figure - a large number of refugees with disheveled faces and half-clothed clothes.
Enli slowly reined in the horse under his crotch.
After stopping the horse, Enli looked at the refugees not far away with complex eyes.
And these refugees also discovered Enli who was looking at them from afar.
Looking at the armor on Enli and the deputy general behind Enli, as well as the sword on his waist, fear appeared on the faces of the refugees.
Enli looked at these refugees expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.
The adjutant also realized that the current atmosphere was not a good atmosphere for conversation, so he kept his mouth shut and silently accompanied Enli to look at the refugees in the distance.
…
…
After an unknown amount of time, Enli spoke quietly to the adjutant beside him:
"...It wasn't until I led my army into the territory of the original Frankish Empire that I discovered that the lives of the people in this land were already so difficult and difficult..."
"Of course..." the adjutant continued, "After the war with the Holy Hiran Empire, this large area of land in the 'former Frank Empire' was the place closest to the frontline battlefield."
"Most of the supplies used in the war with the Holy Hiran Empire were requisitioned from the 'original Frankish Empire'."
"We can only ask the people here to tolerate it for the time being."
"In a few years, life will probably start to get better."
"...Why can you say this in such a nonchalant tone? Don't you care at all about the living conditions of the people here?"
"Huh?" The deputy general cast a doubtful look at Enli, "Why should I care about them? They are just Franks..."
"They are Britannians now!!" Enley shouted before the adjutant could say the word "Franks".
Enli's roar was so powerful that it frightened both Enli's horse and the adjutant's horse into screaming several times.
